Pouchy Kenora sandwich salad

Finding a place on the side of the road has become easier, we can make our home pretty much anywhere. Ontario has so far the most expensive camping, we could get a hotel room for the same amount of money in other provinces but I have to say that their campgrounds are well taken care of. This easy dish was created on the side of the road about 40 km South of Kenora, Ontario.

Ingredients:
Thin buns or can also use pita bread
Tuna
Cheese
Cucumber
Avocado
Salt
Olive oil
Spicy green pepper

Preparation:
1) Open the thin buns and add the tuna and cheese.
2) Grill the bun.
3) Cut slices of cucumber and avocado and mix them up.
4) Add salt and olive oil to your salad.
5) Use a pepper to heat up and enjoy...

Minitonas 9 years.

Getting to Manitoba was great and to make it better we found actual free camping in Minitonas where we met a couple who have been travelling for 9 years, yes 9 YEARS!!! On their camper and not a big camper, a small camper with a lot of memories.
As we travel our recipes and our diet will improve, it is not easy to cook when either there is not much available (remember we are not on major highways) and/or we just need to recover from a long day of riding (our brain needs to process a lot of information)…

Ingredients:
Ham
Rice
Jalapeno
Onion
Mushrooms
Olive oil
Seasoning salt
Pepper

Preparation:
1) Cook the amount of rice needed and cover it when done to keep it warm.
2) Cook the ham with a bit of onion, mushrooms and jalapeno. Add seasoning salt and pepper to taste.
3) Serve the rice and on top the mix prepared in number 2.
4) If you worry about the secondary effect of the beans, let me tell you… when camping everything is forgiven…


No name dish.

We could not find a name for this dish, perhaps because it does not matter… Again we enjoyed it on the side of the road at a free campsite, well it was technically a picnic area but nobody was around and there were no signs saying “No camping” so we did…

Ingredients:
Tuna/fish
Rice
Carrots
Jalapeno
Onion
Mushrooms
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper

Preparation:
1) Cook the amount of rice needed and cover it when done to keep it warm.
2) In another pan use a little bit of olive oil to give some colour to a piece of onion, jalapeno, carrots and slices of mushrooms. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3) When serving place the rice, on top the mix created in number 2 and a little bit of can tuna or fish.

Sharon Walburg no veggies.

This recipe supposed to be something completely different, my mother in law prepared couple of things for us before we left, including cooked and uncooked veggies but by dinner time we had finished all the veggies, they were delicious!!! So, our dinner dish had no veggies…
Saint Walburg in Saskatchewan had a nice campsite so regardless we enjoyed our dinner and had a wonderful sleep in our new smaller tent given to us by my parents in law… Awesome… Thanks to both of you for being good to us!!!

Ingredients:
Cooked beans
Cooked potatoes
Cooked eggs
Jalapenos
Onion
Butter
Cheese
Cookies made by Sharon

Preparation:
1) Fry a piece of onion, jalapeno and the cooked potatoes with a little bit of butter.
2) In a different pan heat up the beans and add the mix prepared in number 1.
3) Once done serve and garnish with slices of cooked eggs and cheese.
4) Enjoy a little cookie with coffee if you happen to have one, we were lucky and had cookies made by Sharon.

Berland free river rice and beans.

This recipe really satisfied us for two reasons: we were camping at a free spot with a delicious meal (in front of the camping site where we would have to pay… our side was better) and also because we got to use the leftovers of the Bri DCreek NO eggs available burgers.

Ingredients:
Instant rice
1 can of beans
Ground beef (leftovers from Bri DCreek NO eggs available burgers)
Bun with cheese and tomatoe

Preparation:
1) Cook the rice with some water.
2) Heat up the beans.
3) Heat up the ground beef.
4) Prepare a bun with cheese and tomatoe.
5) Mix in a plate the rice with the beans and the ground beef. Accompany this with “the bun”.
6) Enjoy!!!

Bri DCreek NO eggs available burgers.

We do not have many things available when cooking due to space or the area where we find ourselves at the moment. Besides eggs are quite something to deal with… They are not easy to handle even with the “special container engineered specifically for eggs when camping”… These burgers are amazing and were made by Brian in Dawson Creek while I enjoyed a shower, thanks Brian!!!

Ingredients:
Whole wheat buns
Ground beef
Minced onions
Cheese
Tomatoes
Salt
Seasoning salt
Pepper
Rolled oats
Olive oil
Dijon mustard

Preparation:
1) Mix: ground beef, minced onions, rolled oats, olive oil, salt and pepper.
2) Create burgers of your desired size and cook them on a frying pan with a bit of olive oil.
3) Add the burger to the bun as well as Dijon mustard, seasoning salt, cheese and tomatoes.
4) If there is any remaining beef save it for later!!!

Junky bisquicks.

This recipe is quite simple and we have to thank our friend Seonaid for introducing us to Bisquick… The first time we made it was in Whitehorse. Delicious!!!

Ingredients:
2 Cups of Bisquick
1 Cup of water

Preparation:
1) Mix Bisquick with water and cook portions as desired on a frying pan and you will get a type of pancake.
2) This can be accompanied with eggs, mustard and tomatoes if available but if not simply with butter or anything you may have at the time.
